 * I’m seeing that when adding a link to an image, the auto-coded URLs are being
   re-formatted and removed. Here’s what I enter into the editor:
 *     ```
       [![label-here][IMGREF](http://www.example.com/url/here.jpg)
   
         [IMGREF]: http://www.example.com/url/here.jpg
       ```
   
 * When I update the post, it is reformatted to:
 *     ```
       [![label-here][2][2]
   
         []: http://www.example.com/url/here.jpg
         [2]: http://www.example.com/url/here.jpg
       ```
   
 * I found that even if I change the syntax for the image to be:
 * `[![label-here][2][2]`
 * …and remove the errant `[]` item, it re-adds it and breaks the image entirely.

 * Yes it seems wrapping links around the short-hand syntax for images is causing
   problems. I’ll need to look into to this.
 * In the mean time there is a work around, see this thread: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-markdown-having-issues-wrapping-link-around-image?replies=2#post-3201225](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-markdown-having-issues-wrapping-link-around-image?replies=2#post-3201225)
